<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 893325, member: 7110&quot;]Take for instance the 1970 Mint Set. The 1970-D Kennedy half dollar in that set was only minted specifically to be included into the Denver pack and none were to be released into general circulation. It became an instant had to have coin. You’d think that with slightly over 2 million specimens out there, you’d still find plenty of high grade coins available…NOT </p><p><br /></p><p>These sets have been so picked through there is nothing but the bottom of the barrel coins left. Probably the only good coins left in those 70 sets are sitting in envelopes that have been tucked away and trickle back onto the market, where they are quickly snapped up.</p><p><br /></p><p>The variables with mint &amp; proof sets cannot be judged across the board. Some individual coins command a higher collector value than the rest of the coins in the set. A good example of this is the 2001 proof Sacagawea dollar. The low mintage has driven this individual coin to be worth as much as a whole proof set is normally worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each year must be looked at and coins scrutinized in the packs/lenses for optimum value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and </p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: keep cracking those proof sets open and keep those scissors clipping Mylar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
